BLACKBURN and Darwen Hive business leaders network will celebrate its fifth birthday in style later this month at Ewood Park.

The group, which brings together business and commercial bosses, will hold the special event in the ground's Red Rose Suite.

The Blackburn Rovers stadium will hold the anniversary party meeting of the Hive Ambassadors Network at 11.30am on Tuesday, April 25.

It is free to attend and open to non-members.

There will be speakers from Hive, Blackburn with Darwen Council and students from Darwen Aldridge Community Academy.

Star Tissue director and Hive chairman Khalid Saifullah said: “We wanted to celebrate Hive’s five-year anniversary with a special event to mark all we have achieved over the last few years, as well as our plans for the future.

“There have certainly been a lot of big changes in the borough over the last half-decade and through our business leaders network we have played our own role in this.

“Whilst we want to celebrate what we have achieved, we also want to look to the future and I would encourage anyone interested in networking with other businesses and helping shape the future of the borough to come along and find out more.”
